The Classics | Dynasty Sport

August 2026

Some of New Zealand rugby’s biggest names are back in black.

The Classics bring together retired professional rugby players from New Zealand, reuniting throughout the year for exhibition matches across New Zealand and beyond.

For 2026, Dynasty Sport is proud to be the apparel partner of The Classics, creating a range that connects the team’s links to New Zealand rugby history with traditional rugby styling. From old-school stitching and vintage collars to the significance of #716, each detail has a story behind it.

The 2026 The Classics Range includes the Adults Replica Jersey, Long Sleeve Polycotton and Media Cap.

Dynasty Sport x The Classics

The 2026 collection is about more than recreating an old rugby look.

As apparel partner of The Classics, Dynasty Sport has worked to carry the history associated with the team into each garment, from the saddle stitching and vintage collars to the recognition of Andy Haden and #716.

The result is a collection that feels at home alongside some of New Zealand rugby's biggest names while giving supporters the opportunity to wear a piece of that story.
